removed many years ago. However, when at the depth of three feet,
the labourers came to it. The lid was broken in the centre, and had
partly fallen in, but was kept up by resting on the skull. The lid
being raised, the skeleton of the brave Andre appeared entire; bone to
bone, each in its place, without a vestige of any other part of his
remains, save some of his hair, which appeared in small tufts; and the
only part of his dress was the leather string which tied it.

"As soon as the curiosity of the spectators was gratified, a large
circle was formed; when Mr. Eggleso, the undertaker, with his
assistants, uncovered the sarcophagus, into which the remains were
carefully removed. This superb depository, in imitation of those used
in Europe for the remains of the illustrious dead, was made by Mr.
Eggleso, of Broadway, of mahogany; the pannels covered with rich
crimson velvet, surrounded by a gold bordering; the rings of deep
burnished gold; the pannel also crimson velvet, edged with gold; the
inside lined with black velvet; the whole supported by four gilt balls.

"The sarcophagus, with the remains, has been removed on board his
Majesty's packet; where, it is understood, as soon as some repairs on
board are completed, an opportunity will be afforded of viewing
it."--From the _New York Evening Post_ of Aug. 11.

"The remains of the lamented Major Andre have (as our readers already
know) been lately removed from the spot where they were originally
interred in the year 1780, at Tappan, New York, and brought to England
in the Phaeton frigate by order of his Royal Highness the Duke of York.
Yesterday the sarcophagus was deposited in front of the cenotaph in
Westminster Abbey, which was erected by his late Majesty to the memory
of this gallant officer. The reinterment took place in the most private
manner, the Dean of Westminster superintending in person, Major-Gen.
Sir Herbert Taylor attending on the part of his Royal Highness the
Commander-in-Chief and Mr. Locker, Secretary to Greenwich Hospital, on
behalf of the three surviving sisters of the deceased."--From newspaper
of which the name and date have not been preserved.
